As of 2015, 2.2 billion adults worldwide were overweight, accounting for 39% of all adults! Even Xiaokang did not expect that nearly 40% of adults worldwide are overweight. This number is terrifying, but there is even more shocking data.
In 2014, the global average BMI index for males was 24.2 and for females it was 24.4! You should know that a BMI index above 24 falls under the category of overweight. On average, people around the world are overweight! And this number is likely to continue to rise, as obesity will increase with age, and due to the trend of aging population, the global obesity problem will only become increasingly severe.
Some people may say that obesity is not a big deal, but the health problems that arise from it are worth noting. In 2015, the number of deaths caused by overweight worldwide reached 4 million! With the increase of obese population, in the future, health and disease issues related to obesity will become increasingly prominent, and the resulting losses and resource consumption will become increasingly significant social problems!
